Tummy Tuck belt
I haven't tried it. We had a support group meeting a while back that discussed a lot of these options. The conclusion was that these are all essentially scams that produce no lasting results. You may get some temporary tightening but it will not be permanent or to a degree that is significant for a bariatric patient.
The main point of the tummy tuck in an obese person is to restore the abdominal muscles to the point where they do what they are designed to do - hold the contents of the lower abdomen in place. The cosmetic effects are purely secondary and if the abdominals werent stretched could be achieved with a simple panniculectomy.
Thats why when you see people who have had just the panni, they still have a bulging tummy. That tummy is not all fat - some of it is the intestines hanging against stretched out abdominal muscles.
